Hi all , I know its kinda traditional for Englishmen to moan about the weather , but this "summer" takes the biscuit. North west UK seems to have become the monsoon coast for some reason , so I thought I would cheer myself up by re-processing some old images. Amongst them , Atlantis when docked with ISS from Oct 2002. This of course was before the truss and truss radiators were added to the complex and it is interesting to compare ISS then and now. The blink comparison http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/sts112docked.gif shows the station quite clearly . Atlantis is the bright area to the right , the central reflective area is the Quest airlock. The main array can also be seen.....these days the array is very often hidden from view by the much brighter truss. Range to target was about 450 km. To stop the animation simply press the "X" button on your browser , its then possible to examine a single frame. The animation , raw frames at ten times magnification converted to grey scale , together with a simulation of the stack ( Phil Masding's sw) can be seen at http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/one.htm Regards, John. http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
